NEW YORK (AP) — Get caught up at the U.S. Open with a guide that tells you everything you need to know about how to watch the year's last Grand Slam tennis tournament, what the betting odds are, what the schedule is, who the defending champions are and more:
Despite winning both hard-court Grand Slam titles in 2024, Jannik Sinner isn't the favorite to win the Australian Open, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Novak Djokovic, who has won 10 of his men's-record 24 Grand Slam titles there, occupies that spot at +175. Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who split the four major titles in 2024, share the second-best odds at +225. Sinner won his first Grand Slam title in January in Australia by rallying from two sets down to beat Daniil Medvedev. Medvedev is the fourth choice at +750. Aryna Sabalenka, the two-time defending Australian Open champion, has the best odds among women at +225. The U.S. Open champion is followed by No. 1 Iga Swiatek +350 and Coco Gauff (+450).
